What a tasty roast chicken this is!! I used ground cinnamon instead of a cinnamon stick (just sprinkled a bit with chicken broth) and it worked perfectly. I tossed some chopped potatoes in bottom of pan and this made for a fantastic meal.

Great chicken! The changes I made was using fresh thyme and fresh oregano but otherwise made as directed. My chicken was about 3 pounds. Thanks for sharing!
